Finish, sum up, conclude.

Wow, so like....

It's 2015.

It just hit me.... last night.... around 12pm.... that it's 2015. What? Why? What the freak happened to that fabulous thing called Time?

Anyway, so, I kind of have a tradition where I do this tag at the end of every year. I just think it's a good way to sum up the last twelve months, and it's nice to have something that I do every year, you know?

So here we go!

1.) What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before?
Got employed. BORING RIGHT? 2.) Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make one this year?
Phffft. Resolutions.

17.) What was the best concert you’ve been to this year?
I don't think I went to any this year. 18.) What song/album will always remind you of 2014?
I got both of Christina Perri's albums for my birthday, so those are always going to remind of this year.

But I think the song that's going to make me always think 2014!!!! is probably Hey, Brother.

19.) Compared to this time last year, are you:
Older, duh! I don't know. I feel sadder.

20.) What do you wish you’d done more of?
Drawing. I think this year I might actually have a resolution!! Shocker!

Shhhhh, we're not talking about it yet, it's still an idea that's festering.

21.) What do you wish you’d done less of?
Being angry. I was angry a lot last year.

23.) How did you spend Christmas?
Loudly, with lots of laughter and food. We're like the Whos down in Whoville.

24.) How are you spending New Year’s?
With lots of laughter and food. (We stayed up until midnight watching Flashpoint, because that's the way WE party.) 25.) Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
*waves at Gina*

26.) What was the best book you read?
THE RAVEN BOYS AND SCORPIO RACES AND 100 CUPBOARDS. (which you'd know if you've been following me blog for any length of time.

26.) Did you fall in love in 2013?
Matt the Staples Guy had me in flutters for a while, but other than that, nah. I'm still a single little potato.

IT'S A SOURCE OF GREAT SADNESS TO ME.

27.) What was your favorite TV show?
Favorite? SINGULAR? YOU NUTS OR SOMETHING? I don't choose. I am not a chooser.

So list:

Not in order

Prison Break

Flashpoint

Grimm

Supernatural

Doctor Who

28.) Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Hate's a strong word. I vacillate between loving The Aforementioned Person and viciously wanting to kick The Aforementioned Person.

29.) What did you want and get?
A cellphone, some Supernatural, books, clothes, a job....

30.) What did you want and not get?
There is a lack of a male potato. I feel like I'm ready to make small fries now. *wink*

31.) What were your favorite films of this year?
Lists are my favorite.

Maze Runner

The Winter Soldier

THAT'S TWO. WHAT THE FREAK. I KNOW I WATCHED MORE.

32.) What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I worked all day, and then I opened presents, and then I went swimming, and then I watched a movie, but I forget which movie. I was younger than twenty, but older than eighteen.

33.) How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?
I don't know.

34.) What kept you sane?
I prayed a lot, immersed myself in fandoms and drew. The real world sucks, guys.

35.) Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
So not over it.

36.) What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Not being stressed out all the time.

37.) What political issue stirred you the most?
I don't do politics. I find them to be deadly dull and depressing

38.) Who did you miss?
*eyeballs Jack.*
*waves at Angela*
*squints at Gina and Laura and families*

39.) Who was the best new person you met?
Hannah.Face. We bonded over Spike.

40.) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014.

41.) Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

"You're gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul.

Don't come back for me. Don't come back at all."

42.) Five personally significant events of 2014:
1.) FREAKING LICENSE
2.) FREAKING JOB
3.) Moved out. (it sucks, don't do it.)
4.) Started using color in my drawings. (I know, such an achievement.)
5.) Got Cait to fangirl and cackled maliciously as she spiraled down to insanity.

43.) Five things I want to do in 2015:
1.) Get my life together.2.) Get serious about selling my drawings.
3.) Visit my sisters.
4.) Record music.
5.) Go to Frontsight.

44.) Five people I’d like to know better in 2014:People. HA.
All of you guys.

Aaaaand that's it!
I DARE YOU TO ANSWER THREE QUESTIONS.
It's a dare.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it.....

Cheers and God bless, and HAPPY NEW YEAR. *shoves 2014 into the garbage*

The Green Ember by S.D. Smith. That book was so. so. so. good. And so what I needed right then and there. The Warden and the Wolf King by Andrew Peterson. THAT BOOK. THAT SERIES. WHAT EVEN. The Bird in the Tree series by Elizabeth Goudge. Wow. *drinks up her prose*

THE BEST MOVIES:

Big Hero 6, The Lego Movie, and How to Train Your Dragon 2. What can I say, I love kids movies the best. And those were all... like wow. So much love.

SONG LYRICS THAT SUM UP THE YEAR:

"As this dusty road now settlesAnd I see what lay beforeEvery tear that held a broken dreamIs now shattered on the floorAnd now bursting forth in splendor Are the blossoms of second triesBecause dreams that bear the mark of loveAre dreams that never die"-"Moving Forward" by Colony House

AND BECAUSE I'M SO DARING I SHALL ANSWER ONE MORE:

BEST PERSON I MET THIS YEAR:

TRESKIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! <3 Seriously, though, our friendship has meant a lot and I need to get over there and meet you somehow. God blesses me crazily with friends met in unlikely places.

And that Spike gif made my day. <3 I MISS YOU SPIKE. I love Flashpoint. Such a good show.

AND I just want to say that you don't stink at all don't say such things about yourself. You are fun and inspiring and lovely and God has amazing plans for you. *bear hug*

*waves from down here in Insanity* Yes, yes, it's very nice. I'm getting used to be emotionally ruined by tv shows. ThanksalotfornothingTreskie.*ahem*YOU SOUND SAD. :( Sad isn't good. 2014 wasn't my best year ever, either, and I didn't even do anything. Well, not much exciting. I travelled a bit. I ate lasagna and I will take the advice to heart and not BE a lasagna. It's wise. Very. I got a dog that is like a minature hellhound. BUT I HAS GOOD FRIENDS SO THAT'S OKAY.

SUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. IT'S THE BEST PLACE TO BE, IN INSANITY. *high fives* welcome to the fandom. Please enjoy your stay.*

Ahem. I'm not SAD sad. I'm just not HAPPY happy. YA FEEL ME? lol. 2014 wasn't a great year at all. lol. I know you travelled, I think I heard about the lasagna eating, (good thing, taking that advice. lol. It's a dangerous thing to be.) your dog still cracks me uuuuuuup. lol. I AM GONNA FLATTER MYSELF AND SAY I KNOW: I'M A GREAT FRIEND!!!!!!!!!! MWUAHAHA

TRESKIEEE! We need to talk more. Like for realsies. The only other time I think I've communicated with you was that ridiculous night when all of you yelled at me to get a blog. (Which, by the way, I am eternally grateful for.)And hey, good job getting a job. :D Teach me your ways. I need a job. BADLY. I hope your 2015 is faNTASTIC. No really. :)Oh and one last thing, do you mind if I steal this post idea? I've been meaning to do a 2015 post thing but haven't gotten around to it.

Ooh. Flashpoint. Flashpoint looks good! I just started watching Bones, which is, so far, really... weird. The plot is good, but the two leading characters (who supposedly are in love) have zero chemistry and fight constantly. They're more like brother and sister than a couple. *Shrugs*

I hope you find your male potato. You seem like you'd make a really epic mum. And... Matt the Staples guy? Like Taylor the Latte boy? Please tell me you've seen this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXS0nEOx_20

Treskie, you do NOT suck, you are amazing and inspiring and talented, and if anyone ever says that you suck, they're lying. Just so you know.

FLASHPOINT IS AMAZING AND FABULOUS AND OH MY GOSH IT'S INTENSE AND AMAZING BUT NOT AS INTENSE AS PRISON BREAK AND IT'S LIKE *COMPLETELY* CLEAN YOU MUST WATCH IT. LIKE, NOW.

I don't like it when the couples on shows don't have chemistry. I can't ship them if they don't have chemistry.

I hope I find a male potato too. lol. I THINK IT WOULD TOO, SO WHAT'S THE DEAL, I'M ELIGIBLE! No, he's just Matt who works at staples and he's beautiful lol. BUT I HAVEN"T SEEN THAT! I watch in a mo...

Aw thanks. I didn't say that to fish for compliments, you know. But thank you. I shall try to view myself better. XD

I KNOW RIGHT!??? (the secret lies in having your sisters already work there and put i a good work for you)

Happy New Year!!!! I'm so glad that you had a pretty good year, and I really hope you can find yourself a male potato this year.... ;) And just saying.... If your Christmas celebration is like the celebration in Whoville, I'm definitely in for next year! Haha. Happy 2015!- July, http://julyaemmance.blogspot.com/

Best book of 2014? Ummmm...BLUE LILY, LILY BLUE, um, um THERE WERE MANY MORE. BUT GANSEY!!!!!!!Did I fall in love? Also ummmmmm. I didn't really fall in love but I had a LOT of crushes. The fun of being a teenaged girl!Best TV show? DOCTOR WHO! Even though I have missed most of the newest season. Darn. And Selfie. Pretty good but kind of fluffy most of the time. But oh! Do webseries' count? Because then Nothing Much To Do and Emma Approved and The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (except I started that in 2013), ClassicAlice, and BLIMEY COW because Jordan Taylor is fantastic.HAHA! Adding a fourth one. :) Favorite movie. THE HOBBIT: BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES. OF COURSE. And The Winter Soldier was kind of amazing. BUT THE HOBBIT MADE ME CRY! Like a baby. IT ABSOLUTELY RUINED ME. And DIVERGENT! And Maleficent was pretty cool but only because of BRENTON THWAITES! I have a slight obsession. *smiles sheepishly* AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE MAZE RUNNER! BUT DYLAN O'BRIEN!! And I haven't been able to see The Giver either but I want to because of BRENTON THWAITES AGAIN! hehe :)And, what the heck, one more. Song lyrics that sum up the year.

Many places I have beenMany sorrows I have seenBut I don't regretNor will I forgetAll who took that road with me

Night is now fallingSo ends this dayThe road is now callingAnd I must away

To these memories I will holdWith your blessing I will goTo turn at last to paths that lead home

And though where the road then takes me,I cannot tellWe came all this wayBut now comes the dayTo bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell

They don't really sum up my year but I love them and a couple of my friends moved away this year (2014) and my brother is graduating this year (2015) so it kind of does make sense. PLUS, IT'S FROM THE HOBBIT!! I love this song so much, I put it on my ipod and listen to it on repeat until I fall asleep. It has basically taken over my life.

That was fun. and by the way, YOU DO NOT SUCK! YOU ARE AN AMAZING, FANTASTIC, AWESOME PERSON. Even though I have never met you in real life, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!

Oh, we're just NOW watching s8 of DW. I LOVE TWELVE!!!!! (I miss Matt, but Twelve is like Niiiiiiiiine.) I've only watched the LIzzie Bennet Diaries. I wasn't wild about Emma so I gave up. What's Classic Alice?

WINTER SOLDIER!!!!!!! (Haven't seen The Last Hobbit yet.... I'm dubious because I like the book. lol.) I HAVEN'T SEEN MALEFICENT EITHER. OR THE GIVER, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHO BRENDEN THWAITE IS BUT YAAAAAAAAAAAY HIM! LOL. My uncle really liked the Giver, so I' want to give it a try. DYLAN OBRIEN ROCKED IT IN MAZE RUNNER. JUST *DROOLS*

I love that song. *fist bump*

I'm glad you had fun lol. I DISAGREE BUT THANK YOU THANK YOU!! LOL my esteem has been boosted. Thanks. :D

ClassicAlice is about a girl in college who decides to live life according to books. It sounds kind of weird and it is kind of weird, the Crime and Punishment and Macbeth ones got...interesting, but yeah, they're cool.

Who's Flying This Thing?

Call me Treskie. I'm weird. I like to draw. I'm a singer. I like to shoot stuff. I can fangirl with the best of them. Sometimes I trip over nothing. I don't think you're ever too old to believe in fairytales.
